For the past few weeks, my powerbook has taken about 10-15 seconds to go to sleep once I've selected sleep mode. It seems to have coincided with my upgrade to 10.2.8, but I'm not 100% sure. I've reparied permissions, zapped everything that can be zapped and still the proplem persists. Any...

I'm running 10.2.4 on a powerbook G4 800mhz/512mbram. For the past few months I've been having occasional problems with kernel panics when I wake it up from sleep. Recently it seems more frequently. I have no idea what it is and am not very savvy with unix systems so was wondering if anybody...

For some time now I've had trouble choosing fonts in word. For example, when I choose times new roman, I get verdana or some other font and vice versa. I basically have to go through all the different fonts to find what I want. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks! PD

I have some older VCDs that I'd like to be able to play. MacOs X can't play vcds apparently. What is the best, preferably free, solution to play vcds in Jaguar? And, since I'm at it, why on earth wouldn't apple include support for vcd when all of Asia is using it!????? Thanks! PD

My powerbook G4 550/512 was taking 25-30 seconds from the time I chose sleep in the menu to when the LCD went dark. Very annoying. I finally managed to narrow the problem down to Norton Utilities 7 and, probably, its filesaver utilitiy. Removed all parts of Norton, restarted and now my powerbook...

I installed 10.2 last week. It's been great: this is one smooth, slick operating system! But for the past few days, when i choose sleep it takes probably 25 seconds for it to sleep. it went to sleep immediately before when I first installed. Any ideas? I'm running PB G4 550/512mb ram...

Ok, this might be a silly question but who cares... My girlfriend and I have a small network with a dsl modem, router, two computers and a printer. We just bought a firewire drive for backup purposes. What are our options for backup? We have retrospect desktop which works perfectly but is...

I have a powerbook G4 550mhz with lots of ram. Often Entourage X unexpectedly quits after I've launched it. I get the splash screen and the application window and then, when checking for new mail, it just quits. I have no idea what it can be. It's unpredictable and I haven't been able to see a...

I just got a replacement powerbook G4 550mhz from Apple - MacOS 10.1.3. Every time I wake it up from sleep, the menu bar disappears and I need to drag the cursor over it for the text to reappear again. It's as though it forgets to redraw that section after sleep. Everything else works...

Hi Is there any other software that allows you to bounce emails the way the Mail app allows you to? I use entourage X and would like to have the function? Thanks!

I installed office x on my and my wife's computer. We're both connected to a dsl router. We can't both run office applications at the same time because MS has implemented a copy protection scheme that checks if there are other copies on the LAN. I can't believe it. Sure, the license is for ONE...

I was using windows 2000 today and noticed how EXTREMELY smooth window resizing is in explorer and other applications. There is no lag whatsoever on a machine that is at least a year old. Then I went back to osx 10.1 running on my powerbook G4 with 384mb ram and was a little depressed. It's so...

I'm disappointed. I was enjoying osx 10.1 tremendously until I tried updating it yesterday to 10.1.1. the install went well, no problems at all. Since they I've spent about 13 hours trying to get it to work. What's the problem? Well, all my old third party applications failed to launch. They...

After noticing that few people were having trouble with the latest update, I just installed 10.1.1 update via the software updater. Installation went smoothly. I rebooted and now no third party application launch, I can't get on the internet, check my email, open word or anything. I also can't...

I'm an average user. I use word, explorer, entourage, photoshop, fire, powerpoint, excel and other mainstream software. I spend a lot of time with my computer as I travel a lot and use it as the center of my communication and personal entertainment life: email, internet, music, dvd, digital...

I've been trying to print from classic apps with no success. Keep getting a message that the 'serial' port is in use. I'm using a USB Samsung laser printer! I've installed the drivers for the printer in macos 9.2 and selected it in the chooser. Any ideas? Also, Samsung's beta driver for...

I keep on getting the same messages over and over again in mail. I'm using a pop account and have marked the box where it says to delete all mail on server after download. It's frustrating to have to open my email in another client just to get rid of the emails on the server. Thanks...

I love macos 10.1 - thanks to macavenger I got an update. This is really a MAJOR improvement to the last release and finally it feel perfectly useable, fast, elegant and just cool. However, mail is a little weird. Even though I'm using my mac.com account as a pop account rather than imap, I keep...

I can't believe that we still don't know where to get the 10.1 update. Apple says participating authorized dealers - which ones? They expect us to call all dealers to find out if they're participating? Even if we did, and some have already called around, it doesn't seem Apple has told them about...
